LPL didn't want me? I joined SKT instead!

The article, titled "LPL Doesn't Want Me? I Joined SKT Instead!", is full of classic quotes; come find resonance.

The night hunter wearing sunglasses, a red cloak, and carrying a silver crossbow.

The profile picture lights up.

It was not directly locked.

A commotion broke out at the scene.

"VN? Picking Vayne? Is this a tribute to Uzi?" Wawa joked with a laugh. "But I doubt they'll choose her. Vayne is too weak this patch, and nobody understands Vayne better than Uzi..."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Clang!"

A crisp locking sound effect accompanied the classic line that resounded throughout the venue:

"Let us hunt down those who have fallen into darkness."

Locked!

It's really locked!

SKT's Xiao Yan locked in Vayne when facing RNG and Uzi!

boom!

The entire venue erupted in chaos.

This is not merely a hero's choice; it is a declaration of war! A declaration of war written in bloody provocation!

"My God! He actually dared to pick that!" Miller's voice trembled. "What does this mean? Is he going to play Vayne in front of Uzi? Xiao Yan is just too arrogant!"

On RNG's bench, Uzi's pupils contracted sharply the moment he saw Vayne locked on.

He was stunned.

Immediately, an uncontrollable rage surged to his head.

He's provoking me.

He's humiliating me!

"Fine, fine..." Uzi laughed angrily, his fingers gripping the mouse turning pale from the force. "Want to play Vayne, huh?"

"Alright, I'll show you what a real Vayne is, and what the difference in AD carry skill really is!"

Uzi's eyes were bloodshot; at that moment, all his tactics and strategies were forgotten.

He had only one thought:

Kill him!

Kill him until he's completely destroyed!

Meanwhile, in SKT's voice channel, Xiao Yan listened to the gasps of surprise from the audience, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Are you all ready?"

Faker's voice was as steady as a mountain: "Always ready."

Peanut shouted excitedly, "Go go go!"

Xiao Yan adjusted his posture, his eyes becoming sharp as knives.

The hunt has begun.

As the rousing female voice of "All troops, attack!" resounded throughout Summoner's Rift, this highly anticipated battle officially began.

On the big screen, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

RNG (Blue Side):

Top laner Letme: Cho'Gath

Jungler Mlxg: Prince

Mid laner Xiaohu: Ryze

ADC Uzi: Tristana

Support Ming: Janna

Red team SKT:

Top laner Huni: Gnar

Jungler Peanut: Gragas

Mid laner Faker: Galio

ADC Xiao Yan: Vayne

Support Wolf: Lulu

On the commentary desk, Miller analyzed the lineup, saying, "RNG's lineup is very solid. Jarvan IV brings the ball in, Ryze provides support, Tristana cleans up in the late game, and Cho'Gath tanks in the front line. On the other hand, SKT's lineup is an extremely risky 'four-protect-one' system. Galio, Lulu, Gragas, and even Gnar have to create opportunities for Vayne to deal damage in team fights. But Vayne's early game survival is too harsh. Tristana and Janna's wave clear completely overwhelms Vayne and Lulu."

Wawa nodded in agreement: "That's right, and Uzi brought a Doran's Blade and a Health Potion, very confident! As for Xiao Yan... sure enough, he started with a Doran's Shield. It seems he also knows he needs to withstand pressure in the early game."

The camera pans to the bottom lane.

As soon as the minions converged, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Uzi, controlling Tristana, displayed overwhelming dominance from level one. He utilized Tristana's range and the passive of her E skill, "Explosive Spark," to relentlessly push the lane. Every move he made was aggressive, as if saying, "If you dare to last-hit, I'll poke you."

"Snapped!"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to step forward and finish off a melee minion, Uzi's Tristana instantly turned around and fired a basic attack, followed by her E skill, which landed on Vayne's head.

Ming's Janna understood perfectly, using her W [Gentle Breeze] to slow Vayne while simultaneously shielding herself and then auto-attacking.

If it were a regular AD carry, this attack would likely have taken away a significant amount of their health or forced them to use a summoner spell.

But Xiao Yan handled it with great composure.

The moment Uzi raised his hand, he took a small step back, positioning himself at the edge of Tristana's attack range.

Although he was hit by a bomb, he used his Q [Dodge Attack] to roll to the side and back.

The fuse of the bomb above Vayne's head was burning.

With just 0.5 seconds left before the bomb was about to detonate, Wolf's Lulu precisely applied her E [Pix] shield.

"Bang!"

The bomb exploded, but thanks to the perfect protection of her shield, Vayne's health barely dropped.

"Trying to put me down?" Xiao Yan stared at the screen, his eyes calm and unwavering. "You know Vayne, but not necessarily as much as I do. And I know Tristana better than you do."

Despite being pushed back, Xiao Yan's finishing blows didn't falter.

His Vayne moved like a ghost through the narrow space beneath the tower.

Utilize the turret's attack intervals to precisely secure each turret kill.

"Peanut, don't come down."

As Peanut tried to help him counter-gank and clear the lane, Xiao Yan's voice suddenly rang out in the earphones, "Mlxg is also farming downwards. Even if you arrive early, Uzi really wants to kill me. His positioning is very forward, but he has Flash and W, so it's hard for him to kill me."

"Where should I go?" Little Peanut asked.

"Go top." Xiao Yan switched his view and glanced at the top lane. "Letme's Cho'Gath is pushing too far. Huni is Gnar, good synergy. Kill Cho'Gath and clear the top lane. As long as the top lane is under pressure, Mlxg will have to come to the rescue. If we want to go into the late game, the most important thing isn't protecting me, but you guys."

"receive!"

Peanut's barrel immediately changed direction and headed straight for the top lane.

At this moment, in RNG's voice chat...

"Xiangguo, come down and tower dive! This Vayne is too sneaky, she's been hiding under the tower the whole time!" Uzi was getting annoyed. He was clearly dominating Vayne, but he just couldn't find an opportunity to kill her. That Vayne was like a slippery eel, always managing to slip away the moment he tried to kill her.

"Here they come!" Mlxg's Prince had just finished clearing the F6 camp and was preparing to head to the bottom lane.

However, at that moment...

Bad news came from the road.

"First Blood!"

A system notification sounded.

The screen shows that SKT Huni (Gnar) killed RNG Letme (Void Terror).

"Damn it! Why is Gragas in the top lane?!" Letme exclaimed in frustration. "I thought he was protecting Vayne in the bottom lane!"

Everyone thought SKT chose this lineup to protect their bot lane to the death, and even RNG's coaching staff and players thought so.

Who would have thought that SKT would do the opposite, leaving Vayne to fend for herself and focusing their efforts on the top lane?

"It's okay, it's okay, stay calm," Xiaohu reassured him. "The bottom lane has a big advantage."

But in Xiao Yan's view, this "advantage" was nothing more than a false prosperity.

The time has reached 9 minutes and 30 seconds.

The first small dragon, the fire dragon, has spawned.

In this version, the percentage attack damage and ability power bonus provided by the Fire Dragon are crucial and are resources that both sides will fight for.

RNG's bot lane, with their lane-pushing advantage, were the first to recall to base to replenish their supplies and upgrade their equipment.

Uzi went home and immediately pulled out a B.F. Sword and attack speed boots, a truly luxurious setup.

Xiao Yan's Vayne only had attack speed boots, two longswords, and a vampire staff.

The equipment gap is obvious to the naked eye.

"RNG is determined to get this dragon!" Miller analyzed. "Tristana is much stronger than Vayne right now, and RNG controls the river vision. Should SKT engage?"

In SKT's voice channel.

"The dragon has been attacked, what do you mean?" Wolf asked.

Faker glanced at the minion wave: "I can push the wave and provide support."

Huni's Gnar controlled his anger well, saying, "I have T."

Everyone was waiting for Xiao Yan's decision.

Xiao Yan glanced at Uzi's equipment inventory, then at the dark river vision.

"put."

Xiao Yan uttered a single word, clean and crisp.

"Let it go?" Peanut was somewhat unwilling. "That's a Fire Dragon! If Tristana gets it, her late-game damage will be even more unpredictable."

"Our chances of winning a team fight now are less than 30%," Xiao Yan calmly analyzed. "Tristana has her ultimate and Flash, Janna has her ultimate, and Jarvan IV has his ultimate. My damage output environment is too poor; I can't even damage Cho'Gath. Besides, Mlxg is definitely lying in ambush in the bushes."

He paused, then marked the exploding fruit above the dragon pit.

"However, we can't let them get it too easily. Peanut, go harass them and see if you can steal it. If you can't, retreat, don't die. Faker, put pressure on Ryze in the mid lane, don't let him have it too easy. Huni, keep pushing, don't teleport."

"clear."

And so, a bizarre scene unfolded in Summoner's Rift.

RNG's five players gathered at the Dragon Pit, ready to face SKT's desperate attack. Mlxg's Jarvan IV was even hiding in the bushes, his finger hovering over the EQ combo, ready to initiate a team fight at any moment.

However, no one from SKT has been seen yet.

Peanut's Gragas, with his big belly, sways on the cliff edge above the Dragon Pit, occasionally throwing down his Q skill [Rolling Gragas] to explode, disgusting.

"They won't dare come." Uzi sneered, his cannon relentlessly bombarding the dragon. "What good is Vayne, that useless champion, going to fight me in the early game?"

"Slay the dragon! Slay the dragon! Take it now!" Ming commanded.

Under the focused fire of RNG, the Fire Dragon's health dropped rapidly.

2000...1500...1000...

Just as the dragon's health was about to reach the kill threshold, Peanut's Gragas suddenly used his E [Meatball] to slam into the wall, making a move to dive into the dragon pit and steal the dragon.

"Protect the dragon!" Mlxg tensed up and immediately handed over the punishment.

"roar!"

The fire dragon let out a mournful cry and fell at RNG's feet.

Peanut's barrel just bumped into a wall, didn't actually go down, then flashed an emoticon and wiggled its butt away.

"Damn it! We've been tricked!" Mlxg cursed.

Despite securing the Fire Dragon, RNG felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton.

They had prepared a thorough ambush and were ready to crush SKT in a team fight, but the opponent simply didn't engage.

"It's okay, taking the Fire Dragon is a win," Uzi reassured his teammates, and also himself. "At this point, it's wise for them to avoid fights. But that also means that we have the momentum in our hands for the next ten minutes."

After securing the dragon, Uzi immediately switched lanes and pushed down the bottom lane tower.

"The first tower goes to Uzi! RNG's early game tempo is perfect!" Wawa shouted excitedly. "Tristana's current development is simply unstoppable! As long as they continue to play steadily like this, once Tristana gets her three items, SKT's lineup simply won't be able to withstand it!"

The chat rooms in all the live streams instantly went wild:

[It's a sure thing! Uzi is invincible!]

Where is Xiao Yan? Where is that arrogant Xiao Yan? Why is he acting like a coward?

[LOL, what's the point of picking Vayne? Besides last-hitting minions, what else can she do?]

Is this what they call "hunting"? Hunting the air?

[RNG, go for it! They've come back from a 0-2 deficit to take down SKT 3-2!]

Hearing the deafening cheers from the RNG fans at the scene, Uzi couldn't help but smile.

He pressed the Tab key and glanced at Xiao Yan's stats.

0/0/0, 15 kills behind in last hits.

"Hmph, nothing special," Uzi thought to himself.

The anger stemming from the selection process just moments ago has now transformed into a desire to control the situation. .

"Switch lanes, I'm going to push the top lane tower," Uzi commanded in the voice chat. "Letme, you go to the bottom lane to withstand the pressure, just don't die. Ming and I will go to the top lane to drive Gnar away and then take the Rift Herald."

"Okay." Letme obediently controlled the giant bug to go to the bottom lane.

RNG started operating on their familiar tower-pushing rhythm.

On SKT's side, the atmosphere wasn't as tense as outsiders imagined.

"We've given them the fire dragon. The next one is the water dragon, it doesn't matter." Xiao Yan bought the Bilgewater scimitar and a recurve bow.

Although he wasn't fully equipped, his attack speed had already increased.

"Faker, get ready to get to work." Xiao Yan glanced at the minimap, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Where to?" Faker's Galio had already pushed the lane and disappeared into the fog of war.

"Ignore Uzi." Xiao Yan marked Letme in the bottom lane. "That Cho'Gath is just a walking piece of meat right now."

"Huni, don't defend the tower in the top lane, let Uzi have it. Just make sure he doesn't kill you."

"Peanut, come with me to the bottom lane. Wolf, set up vision and block the bottom half of the map."

Xiao Yan spoke very quickly and clearly.

Then, controlling Vayne, she walked into the bottom lane bush and cleared a defensive ward placed by Letme.

Darkness enveloped RNG's vision in the bottom half of the map.

At this moment, Letme was carefully farming minions under the tower in the bottom lane, controlling Cho'Gath.

He knew Vayne was in the bot lane, but he felt Vayne couldn't kill him alone due to his high health and defense. Besides, he had Flash and Q, so he just needed to survive.

But what he didn't know was that a huge net had already been quietly cast.

"Let's do it."

With a command from Xiao Yan.

Faker, who had long since disappeared from sight in the mid lane, had actually quietly moved to the river bushes.

Peanut's Gragas circled around RNG's tri-bush and flashed directly at Cho'Gath!

At the same time, a huge golden circular magic circle appeared under the feet of the giant bug—Galio's ultimate ability, [Heroic Appearance]!

Letme felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the circle of light beneath his feet.

Peanut's Gragas circled around RNG's tri-bush, blocking Letme's retreat.

Wolf's Lulu applies the W [Whimsical Idea] speed boost to Vayne.

Xiao Yan's Vayne has activated her ultimate move – [Final Moment].

"Let us hunt down those who have fallen into darkness."

The deep female voice rang out again, and the silver crossbow in Vayne's hand, stained with holy silver, emitted a deadly light.

"save……"

He was about to call for help when he realized that his teammates were all in the upper half of the map and there was no time to provide support.

Faker's Galio descends from the sky, the hero arrives!

Knocked away!

The control chain is perfectly connected.

Xiao Yan's Vayne is like an elegant dancer, cutting in from the edge of a chaotic battlefield.

Q, roll, basic attack.

Positioning, basic attack.

E, Demon Judgment!

"Snapped!"

With a sharp crack, the giant worm's massive body was pinned to the ruined wall of the defensive tower.

The three rings exploded!

The numbers for true damage fluctuated, and the giant worm's health bar disappeared like flowing water.

Even with Letme using Flash, he couldn't escape Vayne's pursuit. The movement speed bonus from Vayne's passive skill, Night Hunter, allowed her to relentlessly pursue her prey.

The last basic attack.

"SKT Xiao Yan has killed RNG Letme!"

The head is in hand.
